        Some, yes. I can now copy files from and back into web folders, but it doesn't just let you open/save directly into the mounted directory yet for some reason. I have some ideas, will take a bit of time to get them implemented.

        Only limited joy in web folders: my grey hair users have learned to drag and drop files from their desktop to other locations or applications. To them, the process of attaching a file to a Confluence page is painful. As trivial as it may seem, it is the simplest usability issues that are hurting product adoption within our entreprise. It does not make it a top priority, but drag'n drop would reduce frictions when implementing the wiki revolution in the office.

    Subconf allows drag and drop of attachments by leveraging subversion as the file store, and then displaying a webdav view of the subversion folder in an iframe inside confluence using IE's webdav behaviour. Pity is isn't cross browser.
    There is a screen shot of it in action on the Subconf page.

    I would suggest using a JAVA applet. I have seen drag'n'drop from the client to the web browser (both IE and Firefox) work perfectly on a website that offers a webdisk functionality. As far as I was able to see from the HTML source code they used software called RADupload (http://www.radinks.com/upload/). I like the webdav idea too, the problem is that it's so badly supported by Vista and I guess there is also problems on XP (try to make any of the webdav plugins to Confluence work, and you will know what I'm talking about). Microsoft seems to have solved the webdav problem on their Sharepoint server but I'm not sure what they have done.
